definition: A circus is a very special show that travels from town to town. A circus has clowns, acrobats, and other things to see. Some circuses have trained animals. You can also buy hot dogs, candy, and souvenirs at the circus.
My brother's favorite thing at the circus is the clowns, but I like the acrobats. I think my little sister likes the candy the best, though.
